Surviving As The Villainess
Chapter 33 - Arrival of Yuriel II

"Eh?" Liyuna could not hide her surprise. He looked at Jenneth his servant with a look of disbelief.

"Will you spend the night in the studio?" Liyuna asked.

A few minutes ago, Jenneth came to him and told him that Sara had gone to the studio and intended to spend the night there. Since Liyuna and Jenneth meet at the House of the Sun, they become closer and Jenneth acts like her personal assistant as well as a source of information. Luckily, Jenneth is a person who has a lot of information and is sensitive to the atmosphere around him.

After hearing what Jenneth said, Liyuna came to mind. She knew that Sara could not accept Yuriel's arrival well, in the game Sara also experienced the same difficulties until finally her heart was tarnished with hatred. It goes the same as the one in the game, if allowed Karl and Sara's relationship will deteriorate and Sara will start to change. This is the starting point where everything turns uncontrollable, where Sara and Liyuna begin to be blinded by the hatred that envelops the heart.

"Yes, Miss. I saw Madam Sara preparing to go to the studio." Jenneth confirmed the previous information he gave Liyuna.

The look on Yuriel's face turned sad upon hearing this, her palms intertwined, her head lowered, and her eyes began to water. Liyuna who saw this felt bad. She knows that Jenneth did not mean to hurt Yuriel, but that Yuriel is, after all, a sensitive 8-year-old who is easily sad.

Jenneth who also saw how Yuriel's expression turned into feeling a little guilty, but she did not think too much about it because for her the information she had was more important to Liyuna than anyone else. He also could not get Yuriel to leave just like that because he was just a servant. He was paid to help his employer.

"It's okay, Yuriel, Mama went to the studio because she has a lot of work there." Liyuna tried to comfort the sad Yuriel.

Despite knowing that all this was happening because of Yuriel, she could not tell the truth. Yuriel was indeed a female lead, but before that she was just an 8-year-old child who knew nothing. Suddenly coming to a foreign place and being told to assume the people of the newly discovered gang as a family is definitely not easy.

"But ... Aunt must have left because I came." Yuriel said with a trembling voice.

Right now, Yuriel felt extremely guilty. Since he was a pretty smart kid, he knew that his arrival would cause trouble for the Castris family. He who was a nobody would definitely be hard to accept by this family, especially Uncle Karl's wife and son. But when Liyuna reached out to her, she felt that the bad thoughts that had been in her brain were not true. Liyuna accepted it with pleasure, her face showing no hatred but an honest and sincere sense of pleasure. Her smile was so beautiful and she looked so beautiful like an angel.

Before coming to this house, he had received a photo of Liyuna from Karl. In the photo Liyuna looks very beautiful with eyes as blue as the sky again in the day and hair as black as the night sky is wavy.

But when she met in person, her beauty exceeded the one in the photo. The photo he had seen could not give justice to Liyuna's beauty. She really looked so charming and mesmerizing, Yuriel had never seen anyone as beautiful as her.

On the other hand, Liyuna also thought of a similar thing, Yuriel was indeed very beautiful even more beautiful than the one in the game. Her hair was straight with a reddish brown caramel and both her eyeballs were hazel. No wonder that she became the female lead in the otome game. The female lead should not lose in terms of visuals with the target lara, right?

Unlike Yuriel's mind, Liyuna was actually not as sincere as it accepted her. It was true that he would try his best to treat Yuriel like his family and also always do good to her, but it was all just to survive. Even so, the feeling of pleasure when having a brother could not be made up, Liyuna really felt happy when thinking about having a sister. All of that reminded her of another orphanage child who had lived with her in her previous life. Once as the eldest brother he had to always help the other kid aisle younger, making him feel like he had a lot of younger siblings. Hence when meeting Yuriel there was a nostalgic feeling in her and it made her subconsciously smile widely.

"Why did Yuriel think that way? I'm sure Mama's happy Yuriel is here too, so you don't have to think about such bad things."

"really?"

Yuriel felt a little calm hearing Liyuna's words. If Sara had stayed at the studio instead of her, she would have felt a little relieved. A kind and friendly girl like Liyuna couldn't possibly lie, Yuriel would believe her for this time.

"Alright, I trust Brother Liyuna."

Hearing Yuriel calling her 'brother' made Liyuna smile gently. Doesn't that mean Yuriel has accepted her as a family? Everything went very smoothly making Liyuna feel happy.

"Call me Yuna. Mama and Papa also call me that."

Yuriel felt that Liyuna wanted to get along with her, so she also did not want to push the good girl away from her. With pleasure, he called out to Liyuna by her familiar name.

"Then, Brother Yuna can also call me Yuri." Yuriel said shyly.

His cheeks were reddened with embarrassment. This was the first time he had someone call his familiar name because previously no one had called him that way other than his father. After all, Yuriel also had no close friends who could call her Yuri.

Liyuna happily accepted Yuriel's request and called out her familiar name.

"All right, Yuri."

Afterwards, Liyuna asks Jenneth to escort Yuriel to her room. Yuriel's room was not far from her room, probably only 2 rooms away. Jenneth happily listened to Liyuna's request. The lady he served was indeed a person who had a clean heart, even at times like this he was always thinking of others.

When Liyuna was unable to see Jenneth and Yuriel's back, Liyuna decided to meet her mother tomorrow morning at the Neolism studio. If he is not quick to act, everything will be late and will certainly run according to the flow in the game. Therefore, Liyuna had to prevent that from happening by talking to Sara with four eyes. However, Liyuna must be able to persuade Sara to return and forgive Karl because Yuriel is not the child of Karl's affair with another woman. Yuriel is the son of Karl's best friend and it's all explained in the game. Karl is a loyal man and a man who really loves Sara, but because in the game Sara's nature changes drastically since Yuriel's arrival, Karl also changes. Karl became more focused on Yuriel who was more in need at that time. This provoked the anger of Liyuna and Sara who saw her son suffering also increasingly so-so.

His kind and compassionate nature disappeared from being engulfed by hatred, his heart long blackened and it made him commit evil acts such as excommunicating Yuriel and always trying to make her trouble. All that was only for Liyuna, the daughter she loved and cared for so much. If for Liyuna's sake, Sara was able to do anything. In this world, his daughter was the most precious price he had to protect with all his body and soul.

In the game, Sara and Karl's relationship deteriorates, until one day an accident occurs. Sara dies in the accident and leaves Liyuna alone in this world. It made Liyuna even worse because no one was on her side. Liyuna's eyes were getting closed and she was doing more and more, until she lost her life in various routes in the game.
